Uh, so why don't you walk us through your concepts?
1:08
Um, so The Biscuit Joint is, that's kind of like my baby.
1:11
Uh, that was our first brick-and-mortar restaurant.
1:13
Um, so if you're familiar with anything we've done, we were doing Dinner at The Loft, and we really needed, uh, a location to start hosting our own, uh, events.
1:21
So I stumbled uposs, uh, across this super tiny spot.
1:24
It's like 16 seats.
1:26
Um, we signed the lease.
3:25
Now, kind of walk us through the layout of that space 'cause I know that, like each room has its own identity.
12:56
Telecom companies expected a surge in demand for high-speed internet connections, and they poured over $100 billion into building out that infrastructure.
13:06
That went on for years, and then when the dot-com boom turned to bust, you suddenly realized that the country was massively overbuilt in terms of the amount of fiber that, that was needed.
13:18
These fiber builders essentially thought that the trees could, could grow to the sky, uh, be- because the internet was so real.
13:24
And, um, in reality, the internet was very real but it just didn't produce the absolutely stratospheric growth that all of these fiber builders were counting on.
13:34
And yeah, I see, I see a lot of that today where the reality of, of AI and inevitability that it has some large role in our lives coming forward sort of justify anything.

Mm-hmm.
20:55
... infrastructure bubbles in all of them.
20:57
You know, the internet, we've talked about.

Like, you wouldn't have open air?
14:46
(laughs) The middle would essentially be a giant atrium.
14:50
Some people get a window view looking out, other people get a window view looking in.
14:53
And then there's this essentially 600-foot space between the buildings where sometimes it's open air, sometimes it's parks sort of spliced between these buildings.
15:04
You- you have some large venues, like you'd have a stadium suspended between the two towers.
15:12
MBS often would tell people he wanted zero gravity architecture.
Ryan KnudsonHOST
15:25
But turning it into a skyscraper? MBS has said that was his idea.
15:29
You know, developers are- are generally always dreamers, and when they cover real estate, they'd often come up with, like, crazy ideas for, you know, a building that looks like a corkscrew and goes 1,000 feet up.
